Episode 81 : Draw Me, Greg Burney

Congratulations to Greetings from Nowhere on their win at the Podcast awards!

On today’s show Jon talks babies, sexual her ass meant and play a voicemail from Bear Crawling Nations Live host, Big C.

Hot topics include : an artist decides that the inside of a rotting horse carcass would make for a perfect setting for a portrait, another artist (wink wink Mr. Burney) vows to sketch his first 3,000 followers (*note : Jon rescinds his “bullshit move” comment),  an anti-bullying law allows bullying (with religious, “moral” reasons), and a 10-year old Floridian beats the shit out of her teacher.

This week’s featured song is “Darkness, Darkness” by The Daredevil Christopher Wright

A Secretly Timid Interview : The 14+1 Art Collective

Other guests include friend of the show Andy Amato, Hillary “Hilly” Holsonback, and Emily Loving.

The collective’s first gallery show, “HELLO” will open Saturday, September 10th from 5 – 8 p.m. for one night only!!! Check out this informative interview by Meg Fury of Pegasus news and cruise through the collective’s blog for more information on each artist and photographs of their work.

500X Gallery Expo

Last night we were happily lost in a sea of skinny jeans, ironic mustaches, and works of art. Let us now share two pieces by two great, young artists (and members of the S T cast). There were some great pieces on display, so check out the show before they tear it down.
